When I first read about the concept of PRT in a magazine, I thought it was pure common sense. I wondered why we didn't have this now, and why they hadn't built it 100 years ago. Since then I've discovered that politicians and government agency refuse to even consider PRT. They claim it's infeasible but amusement parks have had monorail and roller coaster technology for decades. PRT is much simpler than that. The truth is that they want to avoid competing with the auto, gas, and oil industries.

We need to move away from buses, taxis and subways, and toward a system like PRT. L.A. wants to extend it's subway, which will cost over $10 billion and take 10+ years to complete. For that amount of capital, we could install a substantial PRT system in half the time. In addition, PRT would help to eliminate the pollution created by buses and taxis that also create unnecessary noise and gridlock. I hope some courageous politicians will support and push this idea!
